    Post Huge first buy and parts list (and questions)

    Hello my fellow saber friends !


    I can finally start my own adventure with the sabers and I am really excited. So lets start !

    I will make 2 saber's in the beginning.. The first is wired with sound (the 2nd and more exp. one) and the other without ( stuntsaber)


    In the following 2 Lists, I will post EVERYTHING I will buy for these 2 sabers.. Just to make sure I really don't need to buy again some stuff.. Because this shipping is already so painful !


    1 Saber with NO sound :

    Body:

    Hilt style 2 drilled for a 16mm av switch 1x
    LED blade holster style 4 1x
    MHS choke style 1 short + Black Chrome powder coating 1x
    MPS Pommel Style 1 1x
    8-32 x .3" black thumb screw 2x or 8-32 x 1/2" black button head screw 2x / 8-32 x 1/2" button head screw 2x
    Black machined button for covertec clip
    MPS Clip x1
    MPS Insert style 5 x1
    Drill & Tap Hole x1
    (1st Question here: I have no idea how many screws I need and which will fit in this saber. Also, if I take the thumb screw, I won't need the key , right ?)

    LED

    18deg Tri-Cree Lens x1
    G/G/G Tri- Cree LED x1
    Star thermal tape pad x1

    Green Cree Part# XPEBGR-L1-0000-00F01
    122 Minimum Luminous Flux @ 350mA
    Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.58v


    (2nd question here: For the resistors I am not 100 % sure... I use this site to calculate it : http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz
    And the calculator said ( I wrote 3.7 v , 3.58 V and 1000mA in) that I will need a 2W 1 ohm res. Is that right ? And also just 1 since they are all green or 3?)
    2W 1ohm resistor x1 (x3)


    Heatsink module for 1" ID tubes with center hole x1

    Internals

    26 gauge wire Red x2

    16mm AV Latching Green Ring Switch long x1/ Guarded Latching Switch x1
    Brezel for iluminated switches x1
    (3rd question : I know the momentary is better for the sound sabers, but also for the stunt sabers?)
    MHS speaker V6 - For 28mm Speakers ( I just want to place the battery and stuff there.. So it's not just hanging around in the hilt) x1
    For the battery I'm going to buy from a local store or amazon since they can't ship batteries... It will be the Panasonic Akku 2x NCR18650B 3,7V 3400mAh (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00A...f_rd_i=desktop) (4th question here: Will this battery work for this setup?)

    Blade

    So.. I heard that this blades are one of the brightest (for dueling and cosplaying/display) I think I might get this from VV... (Note : I hope it's okay to post something from other sites... If not pls let me know so I can remove them..)

    Vader's Vault Dual Diffused Blade 1" Dia. x1
    VV Blade Dust caps x1

    2nd Saber WITH sound :

    Body:

    My second saber will have a Sabeforge hilt.. namely the Epoch ( I hope everything will fit in.. I think it's an 1.125" ID (http://saberforge.com/elite-sabers/e...epoch-initiate)
    8-32 x .3" black thumb screw 2x or 8-32 x 1/2" black button head screw 2x / 8-32 x 1/2" button head screw 2x (I have no idea if they put screws in or not.. I assume they won't so I buy them just to be sure)
    (5th question here: Does anybody what AUX switches mean ? Is it just a normal switch like the one I ordered for the 1st saber ? )

    266 Minimum Luminous Flux @ 1000mA
    Forward Voltage @1000mA = 3.15v


    (Same question here.. not sure which resistor I will need... So the calc said for the red LED's I need 1.2W 1.2 ohm (3.7/2.59/1000mA) and for the white LED (3.7/2.59/1000mA) 2W 1ohm res.)
